Modern games might have huge soundtracks with full orchestras and famous bands filling their backgrounds, but the games of yesteryear could evoke the same moods and feelings from players with simple MIDI files. Now, aspiring old school gamers can recreate or write their own old school ditties with this joystick.

Portmanteau Devices announced the new "Pianocade," a one and two octave arcade style synthesizer.

These instruments might look like arcade decks, but they can actually make some serious music. The notes are played on each button and the tempo and octaves can be shifted up or down with the joystick. You can also change the sound types by inputting them on the player buttons.
